Yes it could.: Also lipase 80 is really insignificant and unlikely you have pancreatitis.

A member asked:

Blood test showed lipase levels slightly elevated. All else normal. What could cause the elevated result? Was told its not enough to indicate pancreatitis. Had blood in stool a month ago and ongoing left and right side abdominal/chest/back pain?

A member asked:

Had a lipase blood test done and the results were 98 (reference interval is 14-72). I did not fast before the test. Is a level of 98 a cause for concern? If a person does not fast before a lipase test can it affect the results of the test?
